    I firmly believe that one of the reasons we are where we are is because people have never believed that things could get like this. They truly believed that we would have bread and circuses forever no matter who was in power. (See your local idiot who say stupid ass things like "all politicians are bad so I just don’t bother voting) And they believed that the only thing that would change would be little things that they personally care about (I.E. abortion or their personal taxes going down or the deficit, which most of them don’t know what it is or means yet they bring it up to sound smarter than they are). They did not consider that there was any way the president could do any of the things that Trump has done. This includes Democrats and liberals and even leftists to a certain degree. No one truly believed that somebody could go for such a power grab as the President of the United States. Even now there are people who don’t believe that there’s any way they could lose their right to vote. As Trump is constantly attempting to push through his Save Act which would curtail tens of millions of people’s ability to vote if allowed to be signed into law.
